"What's that noise?"
Feidao looked around warily, like a startled ostrich, raising his head and looking left and right.
"It's the Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) of Fuyuan Mountain," the镖师 next to him responded. "Don't worry too much. This is just the Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) watching the wind at the entrance of the mountain pass who saw us coming, so he is reporting to his companions."
"We have a lot of people. We only need to show our strength, and these Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) may not dare to come forward."
The镖师 confidently comforted Feidao.
Feidao nodded with a solemn expression.
Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"This whistle is actually made by monsters?"
He thought it would be done by human bandits and outlaws, but he didn't expect it to be monsters.
These demons and evil spirits even have sentries and communicate with each other... which is beyond Lin Yu's expectations.
The intelligence of the demons and monsters in this world seems to be higher than he estimated.
But...
Lin Yu felt that it was a good thing instead.
At this moment, Yue Zhenqiao, who was in the lead, also made a move.
"Fire the signal arrow!"
Yue Zhenqiao said, and the three镖师 behind him carrying bows said yes, and then took off the hunting bows on their backs and the arrows from the quiver and shot them into the sky.
"Woo——!"
The sound of three arrows breaking through the air sounded at the same time, whistling like evil ghosts, and they were not covered up at all even mixed in with those whistles.
And more than that!
After a while, the three arrows flew into the high sky and exploded directly in the air.
"——Pa!"
The sound of explosion sounded, instantly overwhelming all the noises!
The time when the three arrows exploded was about the same. The three explosions overlapped together like a thunderclap on the ground, echoing endlessly in the mountains.
After the aftertaste, no more whistles continued to sound.
Yue Zhenqiao sneered and said triumphantly: "A bunch of beasts, see what you are still blowing!"
"This group of Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) thought we were an ordinary escort team?"
Yue Zhenqiao said, then spurred his horse and continued forward: "Let's go."
Lin Yu looked at this scene and nodded slightly.
Indeed, as he thought, the monsters of this Prison Mountain World do have some intelligence.
This is definitely good news for Lin Yu.
They have intelligence, can be scared back by Yue Zhenqiao's deterrence, and can exchange information with each other, which means that the monsters of this world, at least this group of Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon)... may be 'tricked' into 'believing'.
While Lin Yu was thinking, Lao Zheng's voice sounded leisurely in Lin Yu's mind.
"Be careful, boss. Don't trust this head镖师 and other镖师 too much. Although they have some strength, they are still relatively weak."
"Try to release your mental power to explore and try to capture other mental fluctuations as much as possible, and you will know what I mean."
Lao Zheng said leisurely, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then began to release his mental power.
After reaching an agreement with Lao Zheng, the other party had already begun to guide and teach Lin Yu how to use his mental power.
And after doing what Lao Zheng said, Lin Yu understood the meaning of Lao Zheng's previous words.
He felt his mental power spread out like water waves, and soon felt the spirits of about thirty people—peaceful, upright, without much fluctuation. After careful feeling, he could perceive that the people present were relatively nervous.
Other mental fluctuations were also like ripples spreading outward, like signal towers emitting signals. Without Lao Zheng's explanation, Lin Yu could intuitively distinguish their 'mental state' through some mysterious feeling.
And after the mental power expanded to the periphery, Lin Yu could feel the mental fluctuations that did not belong to them, and even had obvious differences from human mental activities.
Simpler, but also more manic and bloodthirsty.
More importantly, the sources of those mental fluctuations were not far away, and Lin Yu could perceive that the targets locked by these mental fluctuations... were all on their thirty people.
Lin Yu concluded: "Those monsters were not scared away, they were just pretending to be afraid. They are quiet just for ambush!"
He shared his thoughts with Lao Zheng, who was very satisfied.
"Wow, you learn so fast. You are really one of the top three most talented students I have ever brought."
Lin Yu was very surprised: "There are actually two people ahead of me?"
"Of course there are, one of whom even has a grudge against you."
Before Lin Yu and Lao Zheng could continue to communicate, suddenly, the whistle sounded again.
"Swoosh——!"
A sudden whistle came from overhead, and this time the whistle... was extremely close!
Yue Zhenqiao was a little horrified: "What? Have these Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) gone crazy?!"
I saw on the top of the mountain wall above their heads, the figures of demons that looked like apes, with their faces red and indigo colliding together, fierce and ferocious appeared.
Each of these demons was the size of an adult, but their limbs and muscles were bulging and their fangs were turned outwards, which was obviously more than one or two levels stronger than the fighting power of an average adult man.
While they were making sharp whistles, they also began to jump off the mountain wall, stepping on the protruding rock crevices and rushing down the mountain, apparently heading for the convoy.
"It seems that the heat has driven you grandsons crazy," Yue Zhenqiao was horrified, but as the head镖师, he quickly calmed down and began to issue orders. " monsters are coming, prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Close combat experts hold the periphery, and those who know archery and hidden weapons start shooting arrows!"
"Wu San, Wu Qi, you two take the team on the left and right wings and keep a close eye on it. Don't let any demons come over."
The convoy was now in a narrow canyon mountain road, with mountain walls on both sides. The Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) came from both sides, forming an attack from both sides, and they were all attacking from high places to low places, which was very unfavorable for the escort team on the defensive side.
Therefore, Yue Zhenqiao continued to give instructions: "While responding to the enemy, the team should not stop. Keep the formation in order and continue to move. We cannot engage them in the place chosen by this demons!"
Yue Zhenqiao said repeatedly, and then he also drew out his long knife and rushed to the right side, where the defense seemed to be a little weak.
Then, the first round of Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) had rushed to the foot of the mountain, jumped high and pounced on the carriage team, and engaged in close combat with the镖师 holding knives and swords on the periphery.
"Ding Dang!"
The claws of the Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) were long and sharp, and when they collided with the knives and swords of the镖师, they made a metallic sound.
And a round of arrows and hidden weapons in the team also fell, hitting the Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) in the back, although it also caused some casualties and caused many screams and blood to spurt from the Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) in the back...
But very few Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon) actually fell down and rolled down the mountain, and no longer had the fighting power!
In the team, looking at the crowd of Escort service who quickly changed their formation to respond to the enemy and fought with the monsters, Li Nian couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really professional... Employer, do you think we should help them?"
Li Nian said with a smile, asking for Feidao's opinion.
Feidao looked at these Shan Xiao(山魈: mountain spirit/demon), smelled the bloody smell, and naturally opened his mouth quickly.
"Of course, if these monsters kill all these镖师... wouldn't it be our turn?!"
"Help if you can!"
At the end, Feidao almost shouted out loud!
